There is a popular style called "middle class".
There are only two kinds of people in the world: the rich and the poor.
you can see how popular the word "middle class" is when you go to the countryside. It turns out that people in the village are also talking about the middle class.

I fled to the countryside from the middle-class Greater Shanghai, but in fact, the countryside was not immune, and the virus prevalent in the middle class invaded everyone's body.
there are two groups of people here: real peasants and real capitalists. Perhaps the one sandwiched to serve them is the "middle class". For middle-class people, they watch the news every day, and how many people on Wechat mention them, their income, their clothes, their taste, and they are about to enter the next upstart in China (or have become an upstart). They will even solemnly compare the class division table to see which component of their income is classified-- when they see that they are already at the fourth level, they breathe a sigh of relief: look, There are so many people down there.
the feeling of stepping on the lower layer makes them feel good. Of course, they don't say, it's called the lower class. They will still be graceful and personable in a posture of "equality of all living beings", shaking hands with the lower level and talking to the lower level. But in fact, this does not mean that they want to invite people from the lower class into their homes, let alone walk into the toilets they use. They even laugh at people at the fifth level: you see, the bag she carries is only more than 2000 yuan, which is low.
the middle class has a false ability, but no one is willing to expose it. The girl who carried Chanel on the subway is not worth laughing at. In the eyes of the middle class, they can't even reach their heels-- although they have had such days, they will never mention it again-- when they mention it again, they must say, "Oh, I haven't been on the subway in a long time." I can't get a coin out of my bag.
Women go to afternoon tea on weekends, and men look at the cars in the parking lot. A parking lot is a class representative, and if you drive into an unapproachable car, it will be a shame to park next to it. For the middle class, shame is the pain that they can't breathe that's why they try so hard to make money.
of course, every class will make money desperately. Apart from the people at the bottom and those at the top, there is a kind of people who have long given up and lie at home every day eating the minimum security; one kind of wealth that has been inherited for generations to come cannot be enjoyed for generations to come. They don't have to work hard to make money, they all have a "whatever" mentality. The lower class is casually reflected in "paralysis", paralyzed at home, in the street, in the mahjong parlor, and at the upper level, as you can see from Wang Sicong.
only the middle class is not paralyzed. The middle class will never relax their will, for more than a dozen flat Riverview mansions, for the millions of cars in the underground parking lot, for wearing Chanel bags to Chanel suits, for their children to speak several languages at the same time, they have to work hard. They have a common belief called "decency", but neither the lower class nor the upper class can bear to expose them, which is a stammering formality. Unable to let go, haggling, taking every step accurately, for fear of exposing their ignorance and tastelessness at a dinner party-they all went to Cheung Kong Business School in the end.
without the blessing of knowledge, they will not tolerate their shallowness. It is a disgrace to them that they do not know the weaving number and origin of a shirt, do not know the snowy mountain history of a watch, do not know what the aurora borealis looks like, and do not know the difference between five points and six points of steak in western food. To counteract the sense of shame, they must study hard. Learning is to be more respectable, but the price of learning is that you have to work hard with a lot of money. Going to business school or various Chinese studies classes is a kind of proof.
on their decent road in the future, they will not mention their hometown or their primary and secondary schools. But they will mention some Sinology class or some organization. They will talk about some celebrity, such as Jack Ma, "when we were classmates," it must start like this.
you mustn't laugh at him. You must respect their piety and the elegance of never forgetting their old love. After all, "Gou Fu Gui, don't forget" is a traditional virtue. They never forget that people who are richer than themselves used to be classmates.
Oh yes, there is another hidden rule of the chain of disdain that must be kept in mind. That is the class division of tourist destinations: Europe must be bigger than the United States, Japan must be bigger than Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan must be bigger than China's popular destinations. Choosing a place where no one has more ancient rhyme represents taste. Of course, it would be better if you had a luxury house there. It looks more like a holiday than a trip. There should be no "travel" in the upper vocabulary.
the middle class must be eloquent. Like Kate Blanchett in Blue Jasmine, even if the tiger falls in Pingyang, he doesn't forget to mention Herm è s's history of family wealth from the airport. They wear a lot of tags with them, all of which are proof of identity from head to toe. Even if they walk into the slums, they can't stain their nude suits with a trace of dust; even if they work at the front desk of the hospital, they must offer Hermes bags like a god.
when they see the news, Wechat always mentions that they are very happy: "Why does Club Med make the middle class unable to stop?" "," how can you dress like a middle class? "long-distance running is a new religion for the middle class." All kinds of labels make them look noble. Even if economists write such an article, "the declining middle class," they are proud-look, someone understands our pain. We are contributing to the whole country, we are the mainstay of society, and the wealth and taste of our whole class deserve better treatment.
their restlessness and fear of losing wealth will also be written in the news: "the son of Fok Ying Tung is involved in the black curtain of 2 billion funds." You can't see the title of "middle class", but what you see in the story is middle-class flattery. Who would be willing to be cheated out of so much money? Only the middle class meets the upper class. When they are senior, what they can contribute and prove themselves is wealth.
Woody Allen always makes no secret of his sarcasm on this point. You see, in Blue Jasmine, it is the middle-class sister who is cheated. On the contrary, my poor sister lived a good life, and even though she looked at sixes and sevens, the result was fine. But the more reserved my sister was, the more she collapsed. The collapse of her decency didn't come to an end until she met a hypocritical middle class like her. But soon, the lie will be exposed again.
I believe the phrase "middle class" is popular all over the world, and the man who is more sarcastic than Woody Allen proved his methodology with a great revolution decades ago. To this day, I still listen to my parents argue whether my previous generation was a middle peasant or an upper-middle peasant, but I was only amused when I heard it. Isn't there only two elements, landlords and farmers? It's just that Lao Mao hit people's hearts with accurate class division, and this blow simply overthrew the old world.
the popular style of the middle-class today is probably similar to that of the upper-middle peasants at that time. Every mediocre and hardworking person is stupid enough to fall into a trap. And those who make up all these lies know from the bottom of their hearts that there are only two kinds of people in the world: the rich and the poor.
